Viewotron #2

The latest Viewotron is fantastic: it's a nuanced and heartwrenching
memoir of reconnecting with a schizoid mother. Sharpe's comics are
always drawn with crystal clarity and calculated punch- here those
chops act in service of a story that doesn't shy away from the
subtleties and difficulties of negotiating mental illness. This is
memoir that dares to cut the core of what it deals with, and does so
with grace and wit. Reminds me of the way Art Spiegelman handled his scarred and problematic
parents in Maus, or Leslie Stein's empathetic portrayal of wayward
adulthood in the latest volume of Eye of the Majestic Creature. Really Great and Highly Recommended Comics. -EF
